Ekhrestos anesty@drewhalim,That's exactly what I am totally against. There must be clear "official" teachings but unfortunately cantors sometimes use their position to volunteer opinions which they take as right, and then we come to have various tea…
-
Ekhrestos anesty,@drewhalim,Of course I can see your point, but to answer the first paragraph I would say who are we mere humans who disregard the commandment of the Lord? He said who honours them honours Me. So we have to celebrate saints' feasts d…

Ekhrestos anesty Dear @drewhalim and @lfahmy, Very interesting points you share here. However, I completely disagree with what Mr. Reda Barsoomaalludes to. How can one add verses to hymns when the readings don't refer to such an event. In regards to…
-
Ekhrestos anesty, @lfahmy, I don't think you need to mix anything. The rites of the holy fifties trump minor feasts and indeed any other occasions.. Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty @remenkimi, I can see your point. I just don't agree with your position as you were the one who said in another thread that we're becoming politicians-like. I'm not saying there's no point in research, but there's enough evidence th…

Ekhrestos anesty @tenacpi I'm so glad you chose Muawad Dawood's dictionary, you prove to seriously care about the authenticity of the source. However, it seems you can read Arabic, but remember not many people too. I'm so sorry that I cannot promise…
-
Ekhrestos anesty, Thanks @lfahmy, please don't get mad at me. I do sound quite aggressive on the internet while in reality.. oh no, this is a respectable forum.. hehe.. hope I haven't offended you or anybody else.. Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty @lfahmy and @coptic_deacon, Are you supporting what @remenkimi is saying, or refuting it? Your tone says the latter, but your words say the former. Anyway, last year I was in the process of translating Erian Guirguis Moftah's "Elade…
-
Ekhrestos anesty @remenkimi, I can never argue your knowledge and research loving personality, but if you'll devalue everything related to the era of pope Cyril IV, then there's no point of discussion to be had on this forum. What lfahmy said bears …
-
Ekhrestos anesty @remenkimi, These are very common expressions in Arabic. You're just unlucky you haven't heard anyone say them.. Oujai
-
@minatasgeel, I'm not arguing either what you're saying or what remenkimi is saying. I was correcting the Arabic mistakes remenkimi falls in without realising.. Ekhrestos anesty Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty, @remenkimi, His reverence John the hegumen does work in Arabic. Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty @remenkimi, So we agree on the core issue. So this is an example of a haphazard inclusion. This shouldn't happen in the Orthodox church. That's my view.. Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty @remenkimi You confuse me because your post is contradictory in itself. My only comment is if something is haphazard it's an invention. If something is studied and agreed, most probably recorded, it's a development.. Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty @remenkimi, That's very helpful and enlightening. I guess in the olden days people didn't mind praying for long hours and singing for a lovely and usually once in a lifetime occasion, saying usually, to comply with such a manuscript…
-
Ekhrestos anesty @drewhalim Please don't be surprised, I always make wrong assumptions.. hehe.. I completely agree with you and don't really see it a gravely tedious task except when it comes to the different small exceptions as you rightly say.. Ou…
-
Ekhrestos anesty @drewhalim I'm not sure if I am right in saying this but I get the impression you haven't lived, or at least grown up in Egypt. You have no idea how the muslim governors through the ages blocked all attempts of Christians preserving…
-
Ekhrestos anesty Just follow the arrangement of psalmody books. What changes with seasons will be mentioned, and by time and practice you'll know when to say what and when not.. Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty @Stavro I'm not the best one to answer those questions, with regards the history and practice development. All I can say some people including Ibrahim Ayad unfortunately like singing hymns over meaning of the rituals, so there's no …
-
Ekhrestos anesty Correction to my next to last post: only changeable priestly part is the fraction prayers.. Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty Well said @drewhalim Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty @Stavro The content of the liturgy of the faithful doesn't change with any particular season at all with regards priestly ritual arrangement. As remenkimi pointed out what changes are the congregational hymns. Bebnewma isn't usually…
-
Ekhrestos anesty The Holy Spirit and Christ is one. During the holy fifties the church is focused on the resurrection of Christ. Resurrection rites trump every other rite, including saints' commemorations.. Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty This arrangement is for feast night not the holy fifties Oujai
-
@remenkimi, Ekhrestos anesty I'll definitely need help. I do think I already have the fonts but I'll check again and ask you if I get stuck.. thanks a lot anyway, and wish me luck.. hehe oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty@StPachom,I just downloaded Coptic fonts onto my laptop, and don't understand what you wrote! Would you care to explain?I also would like to ask you and every one how do you type Coptic letters onto this forum?Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty Sorry again, the website is called kame.danacbe.com.. Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty I'm sorry, also forgot to say I have a couple of documents and dictionaries downloaded from the internet, mainly remenkimi.com Oujai
-
@lfahmy Ekhrestos anesty I took lessons in the church when I was 13 or so, and then expanded my knowledge by myself. I'm not fluent or even fluid in Coptic at all, so I cannot really advise you on that one.. haha.. what I'm learning comes mainly fro…
